Colombian media reported that one of the paramilitary members is Omar Lavin, alias “Candado,” who was a bodyguard of Carlos Castaño, the founder of the AUC paramilitary organization.
The armed group stole $13,000 in cash and jewelry as well as several cell phones.
The six will be charged with aggravated robbery and the illegal possession of weapons.
